<r> I started thinking about this and getting very frustrated. Then the idea occurred to me. I recently installed Windows 7. I couldn't upgrade Vista, so instead I had to do a clean install. Well, I never thought of the idea that my drivers probably were never updated, so I went and updated my ...

I tried installing Directx and while it says it was successful, it doesn't appear to have worked properly for me. When I go to dxdiag, it still says all the DirectX functions are unavailable when you go to the "display" tab.

Installing DirectX didn't help at all, but perhaps I didn't do it right. When I view the display in dxdiag, it says all the DirectX features are not available. Hmm... This is irritating. Never should have "upgraded" to Win7.

<r> SDidn't work using the boxed version either. Same error.<br/>

I had initially installed Cross of Iron with the download version. I kept the file from my last computer and maybe that is the problem. I will try uninstalling it now and reinstalling with the boxed version I have of it.

<t> I recently installed Win7 on my laptop. I couldn't upgrade Vista, so Vista still exists on it in the Windows.old folder. I think the problem is, I have not installed (or even played) any games since upgrading to Windows 7. Thus I don't think I even have DirectX installed. I am going to try ...

<r> Here is a DxDiag for you. I better be running with an admin level account. Eitherway, I tried running the game "as administrator" and it still gives me the same error. Third, I get the same error using the quickstart, the autorun, and when I tried running it directly from my C and D drive ...

Thanks. I hope they find a solution soon. Not much is more irritating, except perhaps death and taxes, then getting a game and not being able to play it right away.

<r> I only single click it. Initially I installed it to a different directory. However, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it under the default directory and still got the same error. It is very disappointing when something like this happens. I will ask for a refund if I cannot get it fixed.<br ...

Mod, please move this to the Cross of Iron forum. I had both forums open in separate windows and I mistakenly posted it to the wrong one. Thanks

<t> I have had Cross of Iron for a few years now. It used to work fine, however, I recently upgraded to Windows 7. When I load it on Win7, it runs fine for a bit, but as soon as I get to the main screen and open the drop box to play the campaign, it says "Can't access surface for lock" then crashes ...

<t> I just bought this game and installed it. The autorun feature works fine and all the links in it work, except the most important one. When I go to "play game" it gives me an error and says "not available." I have attached an image to show the problem. Any ideas as to what the problem could be ...
